Jeremy Lamb totaled 14 points and six rebounds for the Huskies (7-1), who have
won two in a row since their lone loss to Central Florida. Tyler Olander added
12 points and six boards.

"I thought we really did a good job of controlling the ball against a hard
pressure team," said UConn head coach Jim Calhoun. "They just come after you.
And they come after you, and after you and after you. I wasn't surprised that
they hustled for every loose ball."

The hosts kept Arkansas at arm's length for most of the second half,
eventually opening up a 14-point edge after a Boatright triple with 10:45
remaining for a 62-48 contest.

Abron's layup got the Razorbacks within 64-57 roughly four minutes later, but
Shabazz Napier hit a bucket on the following possession and ended a brief
surge with another basket for a 71-57 lead with under four minutes remaining.

"My young pups, they battled them and battled them pretty hard," said Arkansas
head coach Mike Anderson. "But in the end, you have to put the ball in the
hole."

Arkansas went up 8-1 in the early stages, but the Huskies roared back to go up
22-12 on a trey from Lamb.

Olander's jumper pushed the UConn edge to 33-19 with 5 1/2 minutes left in the
half, but a dunk from Hunter Mickelson brought the Razorbacks within 39-32 at
the break.
